Hear the supersonic London Philharmonic Orchestra in full flight playing selections of their favourite pieces – some you would expect and some you would not!
This year we have music for a rowdy elephant ballet, the exotic Indian jungle and the lush bohemian forests. The concerts are presented by CBeebies’ Chris Jarvis and are one-hour long (maximum) offering fast paced and fun introductions to music and the orchestra.
You can also make the concert into a full day's event for all the family with pre-and post-concert activities: have a go on a tuba or a harp (or any other instrument); become part of the Human Orchestra; join the festival atmosphere with post-concert performances (see the Activities page for further details)
“…wonderful and inspiring…it works on every level. Three cheers for the LPO!” audience member
“My family and I love every minute of it. The whole experience is one that no child should miss out on (or grown up either)” audience member
